"From a choreographic standpoint, it can be said to be the most progressive company
of the present time..."
Sophia Antipolis, France

"RUSH DANCE offered their public an occasion that will not be repeated...excellent physical preparation allowed the dancers to perform even the most difficult choreography with apparent ease and enchanting elegance...the company presented modern dance intimately fused with the computer era, but profoundly bonded with classic culture..."
Cremona, Italy

"A modern dance sensibility, clearly concerned with movement patterns of today, yet wedded to a buoyant, breezily moving technical base. RUSH DANCE sets up a momentum and follows it, like a spark flying."
Glenn Griffin, Denver Post

"The computer has brought accuracy and efficiency to man's mind and-with the help of choreographer Patrice M. Regnier-a new energy to dance. RAB gives every indication (Ms. Regnier) is pointing toward a remarkable choreographic style."

Jerry Stein, Cincinnati Post

"This company has placed itself in the line of forerunners who have given modern dance its' letters of nobility."
Nathalie Lacube, France

"Ms. Regnier's choreography here has suited the natural flow of Ms. Wilson's body to the extent that we are convinced the dancer could actually have created the solo on her own initiative-it comes through as a personal message."

"The computer takes on human forms and is animated to human motions-a magical, fascinating and playful reflection in the flux between artificial hi-tech intelligence and the powerful possibilities of the highly trained body. Ms. Regnier's work with computer animation will open a new path for the field of dance."
Malve Gradinger, Munich Mercury, Germany

"Miss Regnier is actually a playwright who has to work in a medium without dialouge. Her characters in this middle-American drama (BERNARD) reveal their lives in movement as clearly as if they were speaking to us."
Iris M. Fanger, The Christian Science Monitor

"Here is an exceptionally expressive choreography, intended to convey specific ideas and situations...Particularly strong in Regnier's work are rhythm, dynamics and drama."
"...I would say rush to see Rush Dances."
Glen Griffin, The Denver Post

"As a performer, Regnier has a prematurely mellow confidence, a rare strength which changes with the currents of emotion coursing through her splendid dances."
Elizabeth Varady, Boston Globe

"This odd, angry style Regnier is developing gave her 'Men's Trio's (set to 12th-and 13th-century music) remarkable vigor and bravado."
Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice

"Both elements blended beautifully and created a third dimension to enrich the viewer's thoughts and emotions. I found that all of Regnier's dances stirred me in some way because they grew from deeply personal sources."
Jean Nuchtern, Dance Magazine

"The principal dancer and choreographer, Patrice M. Regnier, provides her dancers with plenty of vigourous movement. They jump and race with an amazing energy over the stage. They go step for step and jump for jump with their whole hearts."
Getanzte Karikaturen, Der Ausschnitt
